Metal Railing on Concrete Barrier
Metal Railing on Concrete Barrier
(OP)
Will the placement of an ornamental metal railing on top of a crash tested barrier affect its crash rating? One railing is on adjacent to a sidewalk and the other is off the driving lane with a 4' shoulder.

You could contact the NY State Bridge Authority and ask for the details they used on the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge a few years back.
